Название: From Russia with Doubt : The Quest to Authenticate 181 Would-be Masterpieces of the Russian Avant-GardeISBN: 1616891629 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781616891626Издательство: AbramsЦена: 10990 T Наличие на складе: Есть Описание: In 2010 the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver director Adam Lerner did something unheard of in the museum world: he mounted a large exhibition of paintings without first knowing whether they were real or fakes. Painted in the Suprematist and Constructivist style of early twentiethcentury Russian avantgarde masters, the 172 canvases had been acquired by amateur collectors Ron and Roger Pollard from a mysterious seller in Germany they met on eBay, who claimed the paintings were found in an abandoned shipping container held in German customs since the 1980s. In From Russia with Doubt, Lerner skillfully weaves together the tale from the initial eBay find to his controversial decision to exhibit the collection, guiding readers through the looking glass into the Byzantine corridors of the art world and beyond describing the owners' quest to authenticate and appraise the would-be masterpieces.

Описание: This book is the result of pioneering research work at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM, German Museum of Architecture) in Frankfurt-on-the-Main. Investigated is the architectural model as distinct means and method of creating and presenting architecture or architectural ideas and concepts, rather than the model merely representing a specific building e.g. as part of an architect's oeuvre. While architectural photography and drawing has been subject of countless exhibitions and publications, no comparable research on the architectural model has been done so far. This book coincides with an exhibition at the DAM in summer 2012. The authors and curators have drawn from the museum's own vast collection of models created by over 400 architects from 25 countries. The book presents 100 models, featuring works of renowned architects such as Norman Foster, Arata Isozaki, Louis I. Kahn, Rem Koolhaas, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Frei Otto, Aldo Rossi, Skidmore Owings & Merrill and James Stirling. The images are complemented by detailed descriptions of each item and by comprehensive essays on the results of the entire research project.

Название: Egon Schiele: Masterpieces from the Leopold MuseumISBN: 3960980817 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783960980810Издательство: Thames & HudsonРейтинг:Цена: 20250 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.Описание: Featuring over 140 masterpieces, this new book draws on the unsurpassed Schiele collection of Vienna's Leopold MuseumThis volume gathers some 140 paintings, watercolors and drawings by Egon Schiele from the Leopold Museum in Vienna, which famously possesses the world's most comprehensive and eminent collection of works by this most beloved of modern artists. It covers all periods of Schiele's oeuvre, with examples of his earliest creations, his renowned Expressionist period and the work created shortly before his untimely death.Among the classic Schiele paintings housed in the collection are the "Seated Male Nude" (a self-portrait) of 1910 and "The Hermits" of 1912 (probably depicting Schiele with Gustav Klimt). Cityscapes constitute another emphasis in Schiele's oeuvre as well as landscapes including "Houses by the Sea."Throughout the book, numerous full-page illustrations afford exceptional insight into Schiele's genius for line and color. Essays by Elisabeth Leopold, Rudolf Leopold, Franz Smola and Birgit Summerauer outline the milieu and career of this provocative artist but also highlight Schiele's place among the great masters of the 20th century.The epitome of Viennese modernism, Egon Schiele (1890-1918) developed an anti-academic style of rendering figures, which are only rarely shown head-on or in full length, appearing contorted by their compositional arrangement. After brief service in the army during World War 1, Schiele died of a pandemic influenza on 31 October 1918.
